GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July so, 1912.

Application filed December 29, 1910. Serial No. 599,917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL E. BADANns, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Flushing, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garments, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide in combination with a garment, a hood or covering for the head, which will be available for use at all times, but which, when not in use, may be folded up out of the way.

The invention accordingly consists of a hood which is suitably attached to the garment and is adapted to be folded when not in actual use. For the purpose of storing and concealing the hood when not in use, the garment is preferably provided with a collar and the hood is so related to the collar that it may be folded within the outlines of the collar. The collar may of course be made of any conventional or ornamental shape, and inasmuch as the hood is normally concealed by said collar, it will not detract any from the appearance of the garment. In practice, the hood consists of an extension added to the collar, which when not in use, is folded up beneath the collar. Suitable fasteners are employed for holding the hood in its folded position and if desirable, the same, or additional fasteners may be used for securing the hood about the head of the wearer.

Various other features of the invention will appear as the specification proceeds.

I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of my invention, but I will have it understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a front View of my invention as applied to a garment. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken through the collar in Fig. 1, substantially on the line 2-2. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the collar detached and separate from the garment on which it is used. Fig. i is a view of the invention with the hood unfolded for use, and Fig. 5 is a view illustrating the invention in actual use.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

My invention may be applied to a garment of any character. For instance, it may be applied to a ladies, maids or nurses working dress, a working apron, raincoat, automobile coat, to a shirtwaist, or to a blouse something like that illustrated in the drawings. This blouse is indicated by the reference character 1, and is shown provided with a collar 2 of more or less conventional form. In the front this collar is preferably provided with a pair of tabs or extensions 3. The hood proper is denoted by 4, and this hood is attached to, and preferably forms an integral extension of the collar. When not in use, the hood is simply folded up under the collar so as to lie within the outlines of the collar and be wholly concealed thereby. Some means are usually necessary for securing the hood in its folded position. These holding means may consist simply of ordinary separable fasteners 5, located at desired points.

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the drawings, it will be obvious that ordinarily'the hood remains folded up under the collar and wholly concealed from view. When the hood is to be used, the securing devices are unfastened, the hood is unfolded or let down, and is then drawn up over the head of the wearer, substantially as shown in Fig. 5. For the purpose of better securing the hood about the head of the wearer,

fasteners 6 are preferably provided. The

fasteners for holding the hood in its folded position might be disposed so that they could be used also for securing the hood about the head, or independent fasteners might be used for this purpose.

In the practical carrying out of the invention it may be found desirable for the purpose of meeting different requirements to make the hood of the same material as the collar or of different material. And in either event the hood is preferably formed, substantially as shown in the drawings, by providing an extensionto the lower edge of the collar, which extension when the same is doubled back upon itself and the side edges are properly secured together as by means of stitching, constitutes a pocket which forms the hood proper when the same is in use. In so forming the hood, the end of the extension is doubled back to a point substantially in line with the lower edge of the collar, about as indicated in Fig. 2. And when the hood' is turned back up under the collar it is hinged along a line substantially even with the lower edge of the collar. This line on which the hood is turned back does in fact, as shown in Fig. 2, constitute the normal lower edge of the collar. The cooperating fastenings 5 on the hood and underside of the collar for securing the hood in its turned back position are preferably disposed at a point substantially in line with the edge of the hood which is uppermost when the hood is in its concealed position beneath the collar.

What is claimed, is:

1. The combination with a garment provided with a collar arranged. to hang down over the shoulders of the wearer, of an extension to the lower edge of said collar, the said extension being folded back upwardly upon itself with the side edges of said folded parts overlying each other and secured together, whereby said extension thus constitutes an open pocket dependent from the lower edge of the collar, the said pocket or hood being normally turned back bodily up under the collar and secured in such position so as to be wholly concealed beneath the dependentcollar, the said hood or pocket when unfolded forming in conjunction with the collar proper, a hood for covering the back and top portions of the head of the wearer, and fastenings located at the forward edges of the hood when in unfolded condition for securing the front edges of the hood under the chin of the wearer.

The combination with a garment which is provided with a collar arranged to hang down over the shoulders of the wearer, of an extension forming a continuation of the lower edge of the collar, the said extension being folded back upwardly upon itself to bring the upper end of the same substantially in line wit-h the lower edge of the collar and with the side edges of the folded parts overlying each other and secured together, whereby the extension so folded constitutes an open pocket dependent from the lower edge of the collar, the said pocket when not in use being turned up bodily beneath the collar, the hinging of the pocket up under the collar being substantially on the line of the lower edge of the collar, whereby the pocket will be normally wholly concealed beneath the collar, means for securing the pocket in folded position up under the collar, the said pocket when unfolded forming in conjunction with the collar proper, a covering for inclosing the top and back portions of the head of the wearer, and fastenings located at the edges of the covering which are foremost when the same is unfolded for securing such forward edges underneath the chin of the wearer.

3. The combination with a garment, of a collar thereto normally hanging down over the shoulders of the wearer, said collar having a substantially horizontal lower edge and substantially vertical and parallel side edges extending up over the shoulders of the wearer, an extension secured to the lower edge of the collar, of substantially the full width of the collar and having side edges forming continuations of the side edges of the collar, the said extension being turned back upwardly upon itself to bring the end of the same substantially in line with the lower edge of the collar with the side edges of such folded parts overlying each other and secured together, whereby the said folded parts of the extension constitute a pocket or hood dependent from the lower edge of the collar, the hood extension so formed when not in use being folded back upwardly beneath the collar and hinged thus upwardly upon a line substantially in line with the lower edge of the collar so as to be normally wholly concealed beneath the collar, means for securing the hood extension in concealed position beneath the collar, the hood extension when unfolded forming in conjunction with the collar, a covering for inclosing the back and upper portions of the head of the wearer, and fastenings located at the edges of the covering which are foremost when the same is unfolded for securing such forward edges beneath the chin of the wearer.

4. The combination with a garment pro vided with a collar, of an extension to the lower edge of the collar, said extension folded back upwardly upon itself to bring the end of the same substantially in line with the lower edge of the collar, with the side edges of the folded parts overlying each other and said side edges of the folded extension being secured together to constitute a hood which is thus dependent from the lower edge of the collar, the hood so formed being normally turned back bodily up under the collar substantially on a line with the lower edge of the collar, whereby it is wholly concealed beneath the collar, fastenings at the edge of the hood which is uppermost when the hood is turned back up under the collar, coiiperating fastenings on the under face of the collar to be engaged by the fastenings on the hood, and fastenings at the edges of the hood which are foremost when the hood is unfolded for securing the forward edges of the hood beneath the chin of the wearer.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York this 24 day of December A. D. 1910.
